Elephants edge by Cobras, twice

By Paul Huang  /  CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

DH man Huang Chung-yi's ground out to second base in the bottom of the sixth inning forced a 3-3 tie before the Bears delivered the knock-out punch on Huang Long-yi's one-run single in the top of the seventh inning.

Friday's 4-2 Bulls' win had the Bears jumping to a 2-0 lead after three innings on run-scoring hits from Chiang Chih-tsong in the second inning and Chen in the third.

But that was all the Bears could manage against Bulls starter Jorge Cortez, as the former closer quickly regrouped and pitched four consecutive shutout innings before being relieved after the seventh, earning his third win of the year.

Offensively for the Bulls, Chang Jia-hao's two-run triple followed by Yu Shien-ming's RBI single amassed a three-run seventh inning that helped turned a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 win.
